Shadow Play: “A seldom-revived serving of marital caviar and typical, lighter Coward, requiring the most gossamer expertise to float. Somehow, rather miraculously, the play rises like an easy, attractive bubble, and after all these years, with no strain or la-de-da handling of the sophisticated dialogue. The natural grace and charm of the two leads sets the tone.” Howard Thompson, The New York Times

“In an era of mounting denials of the historicity of the Holocaust, June Prager’s play offers an opportunity to educate new sub-communities within our English-speaking cultural sphere about the horrors of the Nazi program of dehumanization and genocide.”
